Skyler Contracting assembled a full scaffold that totalled twelve storeys to gain independent access to the roof areas.

Works consisted of complete removal of the existing Mastic Asphalt which had failed in many places. Underneath of the Asphalt was a degraded screed that was also removed. This fell outside the original specification and was an addition.

The project area in total was 500sqm.
